Greek and Roman cultures used pottery to commemorate events, they made special vases/vessels for ceremonies and celebrations. They were made out of clay and carried designs that reflected what the special occasion was, who the family was and they often had images that told the time period and region.
You can use white paper, or any paper BUT if you have a paper bag- that would work great. You would already have that brownish color for the background. Don’t worry if you don’t have Sharpies- any black marker, or a black crayon or colored pencil will be a great substitute. If you used a bag, you are all set with the background color. If you used paper you can color it.
So there are a few vase/vessel shapes you can look at for inspiration or to copy. I have included a pattern design example sheet for you to look at. You could use these in the top and bottom border, and/or in the frame you make for your picture.
For the picture- make it personal like the Greek and Romans would have. Show yourself doing something with your family, celebrating an event or a family portrait. Make it special to YOU! The design on these vessels was usually black, but you do it in color if you want to.
Please share this with me through my email and include your first and last name and the name of your teacher so I can give you credit. If you want to hold it in the picture I would get to see your smile and that would make ME happy!!!
As always- do all of your school work, get outside for fresh air every day, help out with things around your hose and Be Kind!
